A 90-minute on-demand module introducing the core values, principles, and responsibilities that underpin ethical AI. Delivered through videos, interactive elements, and real-world scenarios, accessible on both mobile and desktop. Purchasing this module individually does not qualify you to sit the BCS exam.
As AI becomes increasingly embedded in how organisations operate, the ethical responsibilities of those who build and use it have never mattered more. This course takes you through the key principles and frameworks that define ethical AI practice — from understanding what it means to be a responsible IT professional, to navigating the regulatory landscape and applying structured tools like the DIODE framework. Upon completion, you'll earn a digital badge to demonstrate your achievement.
